That was insane. The ball went everywhere on that final play and Tonumaipea scored in the corner. There's some discussion about the final play, the clock had elapsed when the ball was played - but the referee is the sole judge of time and play went on. Full credit to both sides - an outstanding game. FULLTIME.
